Displacement over time This figure reports the number of IDPs and returnees since April 2014 and April 2015 respectively. Data collection for round 109 took place during the months of March and April 2019. As of 30 April 2019, DTM identified 1,665,108 IDPs (277,518 families) dispersed across 18 governorates, 106 districts and 3,166 locations in Iraq. For the same period, DTM also identified 4,266,882 returnees (711,147 families) across 8 governorates, 38 districts and 1,651 locations. An additional 54,900 returnees were recorded during round 109, which is slightly higher than the increase in the previous round (46,662 returnees in round 108). Most returned to three governorates: Ninewa (19,110 individuals), Salah al- Din (18,750) and Anbar (9,264). The number of IDPs continued to decrease at a steady slow pace. During March and April, DTM recorded a decrease of 79,872 IDPs with the top three governorates being Ninewa (-45,360, -8%), Salah al-Din (-11,238, -9%) and Baghdad (-5,418, -8%). In round 109, DTM split the long-term rental accommodation into two shelter categories for IDPs: fit and unfit for habitation. Those shelters that were deemed unfit for habitation, or uninhabitable, were categorized as critical shelters. In terms of the districts of origin, IDPs come from 47 districts across eight governorates: Anbar (8 districts), Babylon (3 districts), Baghdad (8 districts), Diyala (6 districts), Erbil (1 district), Kirkuk (4 districts), Ninewa (8 districts) and Salah al-Din (9 districts). However, 53 per cent come from only four districts in Ninewa: Mosul (316,824 individuals, 20%), Sinjar (296,358, 18%), Telafar (129,096, 8%) and Al-Ba’aj (115,074, 7%). In April, DTM published the Return Index Report Round 3 and two studies on the state of Protracted Displacement, analysing both the main districts of origin and displacement. Return Index Report Round 3 indicates that, of the assessed returnee population, 11 per cent (472,350 individuals) are living in high severity conditions across 279 locations. This proportion is relatively similar to the previous rounds published in September and January 2019, which had respectively 11 per cent and 10 per cent of returnees falling in this category. The study on the state of Protracted Displacement reveals that 61 per cent of IDPs are currently considered to be in protracted displacement, meaning they have been displaced for over three years, and nearly all of them are at risk of long-term displacement. As the study shows, IDPs are not (or only very slowly) moving out of their districts of displacement (less than 15% since May 2018) and nearly all planned on staying in displacement for at least the next 12 months.

DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX | APRIL 2019 OVERVIEW
IOM’s DTM aims to monitor displacement and provide accurate data about the IDP and returnee population in Iraq. Data is collected through IOM’s Rapid Assessment and Response Teams (RARTs), composed of over 100 staff members deployed across Iraq. Data collection for round 109 took place during the months of March and April 2019 across 18 governorates.
Data from the IDP Master List and Returnee Master List is gathered through a well-established large network of over 9,500 key informants that includes community leaders, mukhtars, local authorities and security forces. Additional information is gathered from government registration data and partner agencies.
IOM RARTs collect Master List data continuously and report it bimonthly. However, limited access due to security issues and other operational constraints can affect information-gathering activities. The variation in displacement figures observed between different reporting periods, in addition to true variation of the population figures, may be influenced by other factors such as the continuous identification of previously displaced groups and the inclusion of data on secondary displacements within Iraq.
The displaced populations are identified through a process of collection, verification, triangulation and validation of data. IOM continues to closely coordinate with federal, regional and local authorities to maintain a shared and accurate understanding of displacement across Iraq. To facilitate analysis, this report divides Iraq into three regions: the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) includes Dahuk, Sulaymaniyah and Erbil Governorates; the South includes Basrah, Missan, Najaf, Thi-Qar, Qadissiya and Muthana Governorates; the Central North includes Anbar, Babylon, Baghdad, Diyala, Kerbala, Kirkuk, Ninewa, Salah al-Din and Wassit Governorates.
The methodology uses the following definitions:
The number of individuals is calculated by multiplying the number of families by six, the average size of an Iraqi family.
The DTM considers as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) all Iraqis who were forced to flee from 1 January 2014 onwards and are still displaced within national borders at the moment of the assessment.
The DTM considers as returnees all those displaced since January 2014 who return to their location of origin, irrespective of whether they have returned to their former residence or to another shelter type. The definition of returnees is not related to the criteria of returning in safety and dignity, nor with a defined strategy of durable solution.
The location is defined as an area that corresponds either to a sub-district (i.e. fourth official administrative division), a village for rural areas or a neighbourhood for urban areas (i.e. fifth official administrative division).
Habitual residence is the same residence prior to displacement.
Private settings include rented houses, hotels/motels and host families.
Critical shelters include informal settlements, religious buildings, schools and unfinished or abandoned buildings. For returnees, it also includes habitual residences that are severely damaged or destroyed and for IDPs, long-term rental accommodation that are unfit for habitation (having characteristics of unfinished or severely damaged buildings).

The information in the DTM portal is the result of data collected by IOM field teams and complements information provided and generated by governmental and other entities in Iraq. IOM Iraq endeavors to keep this information as up to date and accurate as possible, but makes no claim —expressed or implied— on the completeness, accuracy and suitability of the information provided through this report. Challenges that should be taken into account when using DTM data in Iraq include the fluidity of the displaced population movements along with repeated emergency situations and limited access to large parts of the country.

IOM Iraq thanks the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) for its continued support. IOM Iraq also expresses its gratitude to IOM Iraq’s Rapid Assessment and Response Team (RART) members for their work in collecting the data, often in very difficult circumstances; their tireless efforts are the groundwork of this report.
